55Visit number 3…. These girls now think this is THEIR spot. As we were approaching , they started getting excited and Luci (the black one) could hardly contain herself because she knew where she was and she could finally poop 😂. After business was taken care of, they ran and ran and ran the length of the field at least 4 times down and back! Luci chased a ball a couple of times and they were pretty much done after about 30 minutes but we kept walking and got a little more diggin in.
Grace is amazing. Very communicative and gracious. She has added a first aid kit, which I never would’ve thought about. Very smart. I excited to see the changes she makes from here on out, but , really for us we don’t need any. The girls love it the way it is. They were wiped out today. Tired dogs are good dogs haha. Angel A.

55What a great spot! Well stocked with plenty of supplies and toys, and a nice, open space for running around. Dennis had an absolute blast and went straight to the couch for a nap the minute we got home. 10/10alan p.

55Our dogs loved this spot! They ran back and forth like crazy! We appreciated all of the amenities like poop bags all around the property, water, toys, and a hose. (Our dogs weren’t that muddy, so we didn’t need the hose.)Karin B.

55Very nice lengthy field with short grass. My dogs who love to run enjoyed being able to go full out. We got to practice recalls and chase balls.
We also had fun practicing frisbee!!!
The tent awning with chairs and a table was a nice place to take breaks.
Easy to find and I appreciated the circular driveway to go in and out. The port a potty was clean and convenient
We will definitely be back !Leilani B.

55An absolute gem! The drive out is gorgeous, and I love the long strip of land for the dogs to run and play. My dogs appreciate that we can throw balls as far as we can so they get a good, long run and workout. There are quality toys a'plenty, a poo station with baggies, sanitizer, water jug, dishes, and hose, first aid kit, a comfy shade tent and plenty of chairs. I'm probably overlooking something, but this place has everything we could need with an exceptionally lovely host! We look forward to more trips. Lyndsy D.

55My dogs had so much fun! They loved sniffing all the new smells, ran the full length of the spacious field, climbed on the two small hills, explored the trees, and grazed on the fresh grass. We’ll be back when we’re in the area!!
This Sniffspot is well-marked, easy to find, has parking signage, a CLEAN port-a-potty, as well as being well-stocked with poop bags, toys, a kiddie pool, shaded seating, and water. Rona A.
